Corsair Hall of Fame Class of 1997

William Kewer

Ice hockey was the sport where Bill Kewer made his mark,
establishing himself as the all-time career goal scorer with 117
goals and third in career points with 178. "Unquestionably, he was
the most prolific goal scorer in the history of UMass Dartmouth ice
hockey," said Coach John Rolli. Kewer was instrumental in leading
the Corsairs to three straight ECAC tournament appearances and a
pair of ECAC Championships in 1986-87 and 1988-89. His leadership
twice earned him Most Valuable Player honors in 1987-88 and
1988-89. He was also a two-time ECAC and New England Hockey
Writers' All Star. In his three years on the ice, Kewer helped the
Corsairs' rack up a 68-13-1 record.

Paul Hart

After one season at Rhode Island College, Paul Hart came to SMU
and played three seasons, scoring 1,297 points in his career--with
526 rebounds and 222 assists. Hart's aggressive style helped him to
a career average of 6.5 rebounds and 16 points per game. Hart was
an important part of the Corsaris' teams that qualified for three
consecutive NCAA Division III tournaments and won two Little East
Conference Championships. Hart and his teammates helped put the
Corsairs back into the NCAA Division III tournament field, a feat
the team had not accomplished since the '75-'76 season. Hart's best
season was his junior year when he was named to the NCAA Regional
All- Tournament team along with Little East Conference First Team
honors plus being named to the LEC All-Tournament team. He also
earned Northeast Regional All Star from the Basketball Writers of
America and was First Team All-New England and Honorable Mention
All-America by the Associated Press. Hart repeated as an LEC All-
Tournament and All-LEC selection as a senior in 1987-88.

Roger Canto

Roger Canto was among the top tennis players of his era at SMU.
His four-year record for the Corsairs was 59-3 while playing at #2
singles. He was the New England NAIA Singles champion for three of
his four seasons, winning the title in 1971, 1973 and 1974. He
played for SMU in the NAIA National Championships in Kansas City,
MO, in 1971 and 1973. In 1971, the SMU tennis team was ranked #12
in the country. Today, he is the owner and president of Canto
Realty in New Bedford and was recently named Realtor of the Year by
the Greater New Bedford Realtor's Association. He is also the
president-elect of that organization for 1998.

Charles Frascatore

A standout in both in basketball and soccer, Charles (Chuck)
Frascatore, a 1961 Bradford Durfee College of Technology graduate,
was a four-year starting forward/center on the Durfee Tech
basketball team and a four-year starting goalie on the soccer team.
His ball-handling abilities on the basketball court during the
1957-58 season helped him be BDCTs leading scorer with 496 points,
an all-time Durfee Tech freshman record, for a team that had a 17-8
record. His basketball talents shined again as a sophomore, as he
was the leading scorer with 365 points. And even with an elbow
fracture during his junior year, Frascatore still managed to clinch
the top scorer honor with 275 points. His scoring performance for
BDCT made him the second all-time leading scorer in Durfee Tech
history with 1,459 points, an average of 18 points per game. In
soccer, he was equally as talented during all four seasons and the
combined successes in both sports helped him earn the "Outstanding
Athlete" award in recognition of his four years of athletics at
BDCT.

Willard Wetterland

Whether as a player or a coach, Willard (Phil) Wetterland seemed
destined to be a leader. Wetterland's legacy spans nine years,
beginning with his four-year career as a starting forward on Durfee
Tech's basketball team. With his talent and enthusiasm, he scored
236 points his freshman year and went on to receive his first taste
of leadership as co-captain to help command the team both his
junior and senior year. His leadership during his senior year
lifted the team to a 14-11 season as he scored 552 points. As a
coach at both Durfee Tech from 1959 through 1965 and then at SMU
from 1966-1968, Wetterland had some outstanding basketball teams.
In his coaching debut in 1959-60, his team won 15 games and lost
only three, making them the SNECC champion with a 7-1 record. In
his two seasons as the SMU basketball coach, his Corsairs posted a
record of 31-20.

Temple Mitchell

In the four years Temple (Pettway) Mitchell patrolled midfield
for the field hockey team at SMU, she was selected as the team's
Most Valuable Player in three consecutive seasons. During both her
junior and senior years, she was the Corsairs' team captain as SMU
posted a combined record of 31-20-6. During her junior year, SMU
qualified for the ECAC Tournament with an 11-4-2 mark in 1990. It
was only the second ECAC tournament appearance in SMU history at
the time. Following both her junior and senior seasons, she was
selected First Team Northeast Regional All-America by the College
Field Hockey Coaches' Association. Her selection as First Team
All-Regional made her only the second player in the program's
history to earn such an honor.

1981-1982 Womens Swim Team

The 1981-82 SMU women's swimming and diving team put together an
outstanding record of achievement, highlighted by its third-place
finish in the New England Championships. Competing against a field
of 28 teams, including schools in both Division II and III, the
Corsairs, who finished 5-2 during the regular season, finished
third in the region. The Corsairs had six national qualifiers
advance to the NCAA Nationals at Alleghany College in Meadville,
PA, including Sandy McCluskey, Kathy Dite, Kim Hartsell, Laurel
Dodge, Janice O'Donnell and Mary Eagan. Two of the six national
qualifiers on the team, Dite and O'Donnell, have already been
inducted into the Corsair Hall of Fame. During the 1981-82 season,
the Corsairs' set a total of 14 varsity records as a team. Team
